Step 1
Lift your arms in defense position, prepared for an attack. As the attacker thrusts forwards with the knife, redirect the forward stabbing motion by turning your body sideways and pushing your forearm down against hers. Make sure that your weight is pushing forward and down so that the knife is not redirected to another part of your body.

Step 2
Catch the attacker's wrist as you push down, preventing an upward swing with the knife. Make sure that you turn your arm so that your elbow is near his, and lower your elbow down towards the ground, locking his forearm in place.

Step 3
Begin striking to the body, neck or face of your attacker using other krav maga techniques while you have control of her arm, preventing another forward stab. Use your opening to free the weapon from her hand by gripping her wrist with both hands and twisting out hard.
-
Step 4
Pull his arm towards his back as you twist the wrist, forcing him to lean forward slightly. Push him away from the fallen weapon as you complete the end of this move. As you come around the back of his body, kick him in the back of the legs to bring him to the ground. Keep his arm pinned against his back and use this moment to call for help.
